Kaylin’s First Birthday Party

Last week, Kaylin turned the big #1!

We had a pretty large party (about 60 people) and a lot of fun!

One of the best parts of the party was all of the yummy food! I wish I had pictures of everything! We had meatballs (regular marinara & Asian inspired), Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets, baked beans, crackers & cheese, chips & salsa, fruit and fruit dip, vegetables & hummus & veggie dip, nuts & nut mixes (from Trader Joe’s), rolls, strawberry spinach salad, cookies and cupcakes. Luckily, I had family helping out with some of the food (thank you everyone!!)

I made Kaylin’s smash cake using this recipe. The recipe is healthier and has a banana base:

This whole post is so cute. I always think Kaylin is SO cute, but in the first picture she is just so PRETTY. She's going to be gorgeous. That is so sweet of Jenny to make the beer pong table. So creative!

What a FANTASTIC party!! The food sounds out of this world, and I love how dainty Kaylin is with her smash cake. :) She is such a beauty! The Mickey and Minnie decorations really make me smile because I was such a huge Minnie fan at her age. And kudos on those cupcakes and that beer pong table - so cool! Happy first birthday to Kaylin and here's to an exciting year two!

this whole post i'm wondering what in the world is a "smash cake" and then i realized DUH it's a cake where the baby can punch into it? no? hahahah Kay knows what's up though - she's like "MA you're going to put me on the internet - there is no way I am being a non-dainty smasher"

the keg was to get the hubby & men to sit still no? and omg Kay has the BEST AUNT EVER! are you going to save that beer pong table for her 21st birthday party?! hahah that would be awesome.

Oh happy 1st birthday sweet Kaylin!!! It's been so fun to watch her grow up this year Erica, she is just precious!! I love the Micky/Minnie theme, and the noodle necklaces! What a fun idea for a party! Your party food is always great, yum!!
